Weekly fellowship

Acts 2:46b, "... and breaking bread from house to house, they partook of their food with exultation and simplicity of heart."

Dear saints,

We are excited to announce a wonderful opportunity to connect with the young people—the Progressive Dinner. This is one of the most anticipated events of the year, during which the young people travel to three different homes to progressively enjoy three courses—appetizer, dinner, and dessert—each with a different family in Irvine. It is a time of fellowship where the young people and families get to know one another as fellow members of the household of God. Please consider whether you would be willing to open your home for this purpose.

The proposed schedule is as follows:

Saturday, November 7, 2026

• 6:00pm-6:45pm Appetizer in first home
• 7:00pm-7:45pm Main Dish in second home
• 8:00pm-8:45pm Dessert in third home

We invite you to enjoy the blessing of blending by signing up for either appetizer, dinner or dessert.

Sign up via the following Google form: https://bit.ly/2026-Fall-Progressive-Dinner-Host. The deadline is Saturday, October 17, 2026.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Charles Lee (626) 371-6227 or Kimberly Shi (714) 765-9279.

Grace be with you,

The YP Serving Ones

We will have the ninth Truth Sets US Free webinar on Lord's day, October 18 at 2 PM. Brother Minoru will share an up-to-date word concerning the spreading of God’s Word.

Please read and review the following important items as reminders to the registration:

There should be one account login per registration. (Couples or families should have separate logins).

Full-time means you intend to attend all the meetings.

Part-time (Live or Video) means you select the meetings to attend based on your schedule. You will be marked excused or absent from the meetings you selected. You are allowed to attend any of the unselected meeting(s).  Check the box for the selected meetings on the registration forms.

Full-time shared seat: A part-time shared seat is not allowed. Any shared seat must be occupied full-time. Therefore, it’s better to register for two part-time seats for flexibility rather than trying to fill a full-time shared seat.

Live Training Registration: The leading brothers review and approve the list of registrants attending the Live training.

Age restriction: Saints who are 17 years old may now attend the semiannual trainings (or will turn 17 before the start of the training.). Those who are 17 must register for the training full time; part-time and shared seats will not be allowed. For any young person who is 17 years old, the Guardian Acknowledgment and Assumption of Responsibility form must be completed and signed by a parent or guardian. In addition, attendees who are 17 years old must be approved by an elder in their registering locality and must be accompanied at the training by a parent, guardian, or by a responsible adult designated by their parent or guardian. LSM hospitality will not be available to saints who are 17 years old.

Dear brothers and sisters in the Lord:

We would like to announce that this year’s International Thanksgiving Blending Conference will be held in Denver, CO, from Thursday, November 26, through Lord’s Day, November 29, 2026. We would like to extend an invitation to all the churches and individuals to participate in this gathering.

There will be translation into Chinese, Korean, Spanish, and Portuguese. Some additional languages may also be included. 

Please pray that the Lord will take more crucial steps in the advancement of His purpose during this gathering.

Lodging:
The rooms available at the LSM discounted rate at the Gaylord Rockies Hotel and Convention Center for the 2026 International Thanksgiving Blending Conference have sold out.

Living Stream Ministry has not arranged discounted rates with any alternative hotels; however, in case it is helpful, we have attached a list of hotels that are located within 2.5 miles from the Gaylord Rockies Hotel and Convention Center (about a 6-minute drive or Uber ride). Saints will need to arrange their own transportation from these hotels to the Gaylord to attend the conference meetings, but all of the hotels on the list have complimentary shuttles to and from the airport. Please note that Living Stream Ministry is not recommending any of the hotels on the attached list. This information is being provided solely as a resource to the saints.

Childcare:
Care for children from Kindergarten through 6th grade will be provided during the conference meetings at the Gaylord Rockies Resort and Convention Center. Please register all children attending the conference online at: 2026 International Thanksgiving Blending Conference Childcare Registration.

All childcare registration submissions will receive an email confirmation with additional instructions. Please register all children no later than November 1, 2026.

Each Saturday afternoon, saints go out to preach the gospel and distribute Recovery Version New Testaments and other ministry literature. We begin with prayer at 1:30 pm, and our venue has been University Community Park, 1 Beech Tree Lane, Irvine. More saints are welcome and encouraged to join! If you would like to participate, please contact either Lazarus Sun at sunlazarus@gmail.com, James Yeh at jamesyehyiying@gmail.com, or Sunil Nokku at sunilbe8986@gmail.com.

There is weekly prayer on Zoom for the gospel and the increase of the church. This prayer time is held every Lord’s Day evening at 8:30 pm. More saints are welcome and encouraged to join! If you would like to participate, please contact either Lazarus Sun at sunlazarus@gmail.com, James Yeh at jamesyehyiying@gmail.com, Sunil Nokku at sunilbe8986@gmail.com, or Allan Beckman at allansbeckman@gmail.com.

Living Stream Ministry is now offering a new form of wireless audio translation via Bluetooth broadcast, called Auracast™️. Instead of the traditional one-to-one pairing of classic Bluetooth, Auracast allows an unlimited number of compatible receivers to connect simultaneously. No pairing is required.

Initially, Living Stream Ministry will offer Auracast translation for English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean, and Russian. To use the Aurcast transmission, an Auracast-enabled headphone/receiver is required. The official LSM announcement can be found here: https://www.lsm.org/translation/.

English-speaking saints planning on attending the upcoming ICSC in Anaheim in February will need to purchase an Auracast-ready device. They are readily available on Amazon.

Offerings to the church in Irvine can now be made via Zelle.

The church’s Zelle account is: Zelle@churchinirvine.org

The benefit of making offerings by Zelle is that there are no transaction fees charged to the church. If the offering is for a particular matter please designate that in the memo field.

If your Zelle limit is below the offering amount you would like to give, it is often possible to raise that limit by requesting that your bank increase your transaction limit.

IMPORTANT NOTE: For those already using Zelle related to other matters (e.g., paying rent for corporate housing), you should continue using the same Zelle address as before.

For any questions please email offering@churchinirvine.org. (Note: Do not Zelle funds to this email address)

On Saturday, November 1, 2025, every sister (of all ages) in the church in Irvine gathered for the sisters’ fellowship. The recordings from that time are now available online, including both sessions from Saturday and a special one-hour supplementary word that Brother Minoru recorded for the sisters.
